One Secret to a Working Mom's Success: Keep Standing

Me, standing in Barbados Those of us who live our lives out loud on the internet subject ourselves to scrutiny. Some comment, "Nobody's life is perfect. These posts must be fake," Those making those comments might even be close to us because they "know our business" and they whisper and gossip and say, "she's so fake".  To those who may read my blog and make such comments, (the trolls) know that I hear you, see you, and completely disagree. 

Wordless Wednesday (almost): Trying to Get the Perfect Photo With Santa

"We've got a blinker!" --Comment by Santa photographer


As a blogger, I am constantly taking photos. It's proven that images lead to more page views. And I think that happens because photos just make blog posts more fun! Here's the back story of our shot with Santa. A re-take was required because apparently one of the kids was "a blinker". 


You had to be there to understand how funny this was. The photographer said the phrase with the same intensity of a operating room technician. He noticed the problem and it was not going to persist on his watch. So, the kids, unaware of which had committed the infraction, posed again. I am certain my daughter had no idea what the photographer was talking about, she just wanted to smile again and the baby was still trying to figure out why it was OK for him to sit on a stranger's lap this time...

Merry Christmas!!!
